Did you know? The word βtrumperyβ appeared in the 15th century with the meanings βdeceitβ or βfraudβ. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900βs, it came to mean βshowy but worthlessβ. β Today, it is equated with βfascist shitβ.

Michael Fanone, the DC police officer who was assaulted on January 6, says on CNN he was "betrayed by my country" and "those who supported Donald Trump" after the attackers were pardoned.
Fanone suffered a heart attack and a concussion after being repeatedly tased by Trump supporters at the Capitol
BREAKING
As expected, President Trump just signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization.
The United States provides around 16% of WHOβs annual budgetβ¦over $200 million.
Iβm trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullityβeven if itβs a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.
